IMEX America is one of our most sustainable annual events, thanks to our shared strategic vision and disciplined execution since 2012. Together we challenge ourselves to achieve
better results and drive innovations, by implementing initiatives to reduce the event’s environmental footprint and encouraging attendees to give back to the local community.
We have focused on four important areas:
